“I’d haveto spend some time getting the precise numbers, but that block seems toinclude the two 13 run games against at the end of April and the high scoringgames in early June against the Giants, Rockies and A’s. Those games whitewash the whole month of May in which the Brewers offense was middle of the pack (something like 4.3 RPG)  “

My guess is if you took the highest 3 scoring games out for any team during a similar stretch you would get a similar adjustment for those teams.

Every team has peaks and valleys ……..overall the brewers offense has been very good at generating runs even without many homers…..or high slugging pct.

I am 100% convinced it's a schtick. He does multiple posts like this every year trying to explain that the offense is not as good as the numbers say.

Watching Jake Woodford pitch for the Cubs is a lot more fun than watching him pitch for the Brewers haha

[markedman5]

Old friend Jake Woodford was summoned to pitch the 7th in a game the Cubs trailed 1-0……..it’s now 4-0 Reds.

If I had to guess, I'd guess they don't think he's the best option but rather the most expendable. When Hamilton is ready to come off the IL post ASB Jones will be DFA'd and they don't care about losing him while they might not want to lose Leonard or burn an option year for Williams.

And if they plan on trading for multiple positions (SP, RP, 3B/SS) in a couple of weeks they may need to DFA more guys, and thus not want to put real prospects on the 40.

We have the best FO in baseball. I can’t comprehend how anyone in that FO believes Jones is the best option for the MLB infield bench role. He should have never been re-signed after he was DFAd. I feel the same way about Kuhnel. I hope Jones & Kuhnel (once he is off the IL) are off the team shortly never to return. They make Blake Perkins (who I really appreciate) look like a HOF player. 

My guess is that they know Hamilton will be back after the minimum 10 days. If Jett isn't ready (iffy) Jones makes more sense then Leonard if a different team claims them when sent back to AAA and they lose the 40 man spot. Leonard in AAA might be more valuable in case someone gets hurt. I get that's pretty iffy logic.

Woodford for Wilson is going to be good deal for Brewers.

I don’t understand. Looking at the radar loop it looks like it cleared up right around game time and never rained again.

St Louis is now in a rain delay. 4th inning.

I also thought they had a window tonight. Not sure.

I understand & agree. It’s quite sad for Leonard as it prevents him from making his MLB debut. He would also be far more helpful if called upon.

It would have been a fairly easy call for anyone with meteorological knowledge that the rain would end relatively shortly after scheduled first pitch. That said, sometimes other things besides weather factor into the decision.
